Red you were much missed. Great to see Mike again and meet Webberg and Janets. Had to leave early just as Mike was bringing an erg into the pub to explain pacing to a group of Scottish scaffolders.

They took it very well, all things being equal, in my opinion.

Didn't know they were Scottish though...


Seriously - a great time had by all. Beers well paced too. But we need MORE of us out next time. Will have to conduct some more social events in the new year. Can't wait....

(PS We were all drinking some evil xmas brew called "Good Elf" - hahaha - actually not too bad, but quite potent....)

'quite' potent....... That's putting it a tad mildly...... :wink:
It took a loooong lie in to get over that!

Great to meet Neil, Graham & Mike! Looking forward to the next time... :D

You going to post piccies Mike?

It was 4.9% ABV, quite dark, and evidently reasonably evil. Didn't do me any harm fortunately - my 'training' session in Dublin with Big John obviously had prepared my liver well for this...

Oh yes, pics - must try and download and post up...

Guess we need to set a date for the next London meet. How often should we have them? Bi-monthly?

Apparently Mike and the crowd had a great time at the FS Christmas Party in London last week.

What they did not know is that we have video of Mike at the party..... He may have had too good of a time.

Oh dear, the 'elf yourself' website seems to have gone down. How terribly unfortunate... :twisted:

v v v v v funny, although if a movie geek there would be an argument re continuity and credibilty as Mr C only wears grey/blue orange and white. :D
